Talk to your insurance agent and ask him who he uses to appraise vehicles. Go to that appraiser with your list and show him what you have. Otherwise they will just look at the VIN and what reciepts you have and pay based on that.

The best way to do this is start up a price list on all of the mods as well as the initial purchase price and what the truck would be worth stock right now. Look at these numbers on paper see what comes to mind. Appraisals are not that expensive either these days just be sure to get an appraisal from an independent company not a company used by your insurance broker for obvious reasons.

Ya the insurance guy said "they" had a appraiser they use but I was like ya ok .

I will research a independent that is not biased . Good call . I just cant recall or find all the copies of the mods and wanted to know a ball park figure on what these mods are worth and add them to the value of the truck .

Shadow your in sales right ? What would a dealer sell this on a lot for just out of curiosity.

Basically any lot will try to screw you hard. We have friends who are sales managers and given what they pay out for vehicles I would say a generous give out on that truck would be between 22.5 and 25k. Tops. Do not take offence as your truck is worth way more this is just a guesstimate as to what a dealer would want.

If they know it books stock for 30k and sell it loaded with mods for 27 someone is getting a deal ..lol

I found 2 appraisers in the phone book I will call in the AM . We had a tornado touch down last week about 10 miles from the house and the truck sits outside , so im kinda worried thats why im putting more insurance on it .

Do you have any idea of how much you have spent on mods? If so just add it to say $25k for what your truck is worth stock and then get that much insurance for it.

well NADA on it stock says 29,700 . I would say in mods 7-8k ? If I add on paint work ect witch I should because if it gets damaged I would want the paint work paid for . Like the hood and flares .

Is 37-38k sound about right . I would like to have some number in my head when it gets appraised .

My aunt's dealership would probably list it at about $37,000 and give about $26,000 for trade in
